Good sale

Target has cream of mushroom soup on sale this week for 49 cents a can. This is quite the staple item at our house, and I'm sure many others. Now is a good time to stock up!

{thanks, Teresa Gardner, for spotting that sale...}

Cooking Substitutions

Found some cooking substitutions on a food storage website that I wanted to share for those who are interested. There was a handout on different substitutions this week at our Wednesday night Relief Society meeting and I thought this would go nicely with those.

Also, the BEST food storage websites ever: http://funwithfoodstorage.NET/ There's a link there to three separate websites where you will spend hours on end reading all sorts of useful info on food storage planning, buying and cooking. Highly recommended.
